Fantasy Formula 1 2011 - Canada results

And now, an excerpt from the BBC coverage of the Canadian Grand Prix:

Yes David, I do think HobNobs are delicious, but I think Digestives are better.
You're wrong Martin - definitely HobNobs. I've got a packet here...
Really? How many are in there?
Hang on - I'll count them. 1. 2. 3. 4.....

(some time later)

14. There's 14 HobNobs.
Fascinating. Coincidentally, that's the number of points Felipe Massa has scored this year.
Amazing statistic there. Brilliant.
Thanks. What time is it?
Erm.... Tuesday.

Quite a race, eh? Look at me - I just broke out into a big grin again just thinking about it. Five and a half hours of F1 coverage, 20 laps of brilliant racing and a stunning comeback by Button. Fabulous.

Anyway, as it went on so damn late, I've only just started sorting out the results, so here you go - first up: who scored what:

And the all-important running total (NB: Look away away now unless you want to see massive smugness emanating from this web page):

Ooo, yeah. Go me! Race report will take about a week to write, so it may not be done by beddie-byes tonight, but I'll let you know on the twitter.

Malaysian Grand Prix - Vettel hot, but not bothered

Malaysia. It's always hot, and it always rains. Except the 2nd part is no longer true (unless you count the drizzly bit around lap 14). Saturday's qualifying session had highlighted the fact that Red Bull and McLaren seemed well matched on pace, but also that Ferrari were struggling. Whilst Vettel bagged another pole, followed by Hamilton, Webber and Button, Alonso was only 5th, and Massa 7th, with Nick Heidfeld an excellent 6th on the grid between the two red cars. At this point, I would like to break momentarily for a small rant: How many times do I have to say Heidfeld is good? Why wasn't he given a top drive years ago? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! ARE YOU BLIND!!!?? Ahem. The Hispanias somehow managed to a) turn up b) remember to bring cars c) get both of them on the track d) actually get both of them within 107%. Pretty remarkable really. Oh, and it didn't rain. Race day looked a more likely candidate for a drop of the wet stuff. The start was exciting, with

Senna bags Willy drive?

The great thing about F1 rumours is that they change every 5 minutes. Just last week it was looking like Barrichello might be back in at Williams, as new engines, tech staff and a general reshuffle would mean they needed someone who actually knew what they were doing in an F1 car. Which rules out Maldonado, obviously. Now it looks like Senna might be about to get a seat with the team where his Uncle lost his life. I'm sure Bruno's mum must be delighted. I don't hold with all this superstitious mumbo-jumbo though, and with the extraordinary level of safety in modern F1 cars, Bruno should be pretty safe. There is one significant problem with Williams signing him though - and this is going to be a bit unpopular I suspect - Bruno isn't very good. Yes, he put in a couple of reasonable performances with Renault, but Nick Heidfeld (ah... Nick and his lovely beard...) would have been able to do likewise, has he not been dropped. And then they dropped Senna too. Thi

I know I'll regret this...

For @Feisty_Onion @BroughtonLass @LizWestmorland Me... before the grumpiness set in. Have a great weekend.
